Heads up!

📣 Western Michigan University Cheerleading has roster spots available for the 2026-2027 season 📣

We will be hosting a 2-day tryout on September 13-14 inside Read Fieldhouse.

Questions? Contact Head Coach Courtney Michalka at [email protected].

We look forward to seeing you at tryouts! 💛🤎

📣 Page Update

Due to changes in the school district’s communication guidelines, this page will no longer be the official social media page for our cheer program. While it will remain active, it is no longer affiliated with or managed as an official school page.

I’m still the coach, and you’re always welcome to message me here if you have questions about the program or are interested in cheer!

For current team members and families, SportsYou remains our official communication platform for practice schedules, announcements, reminders, and all team information. Please make sure both athletes and parents are connected so you don’t miss any important updates.

Thank you for your continued support of our cheer program! I’m excited to keep sharing photos, memories, and celebrating our athletes here, just in a more informal way. 💙📣
